AI Technical Summary
Current vascular closure devices face challenges in efficiently sealing vascular punctures with existing locking mechanisms, which often require high forces and lack efficient deployment mechanisms for toggle orientation and tension application.
A vascular closure device with a deployment assembly that includes a tamper and a locking assembly, where the tamper is slidable along a suture and inhibited from advancing until a threshold tension is applied, allowing for efficient sealing and deployment of the toggle against the vessel wall, and a locking mechanism that transitions from locked to unlocked configurations based on tension levels.
The device reduces the forces required for sealing, facilitates easier deployment of the sealing unit, and ensures effective sealing of vascular punctures by utilizing a tamper and locking assembly that adapts to tension levels, enhancing the sealing process.
